I have a military background and found this tent fairly easy to set up, but the instructions are a little lacking. Be Careful--- After using it for the first time, I took it home, set it up again to clean out and when I extended the frame poles, one came out and snapped the locking sleeve.

Upon opening I could tell this item was poor quality. During the first campout the metal instant set up beams broke. The waterproof bottom was not sustainable and was punctured on that first outing. Go with fiberglass poles or instant set up tents with plastic parts as well as regular tent material flooring for a lasting tent. I have had a backpack (instant click together) tent that has lasted over 20 years and the instant click together parts are made of heavy duty plastic... Never rusted and never broke.
